The Republican Ticket Victorious With
the Exception Of Two Can
didates.
Campbell. Wilson. Miller, Johnston
and Brown Get There.
Gentry Elected by 8 Majority Of 49,
Sargent Also Elected.
The Official Count viii SOt Materially
Vary the Figures.

The election Of Tuesday passed
of very quietly in the city, although
a deep interest was manifested in
the result by both parties. About
1910 votes were polled in the city,
and with the exception Of OlOf
FVrsse, for Sheriff, and Z. E.
Swanson, for County Clerk, the Re-
publican ticket vas elected by a
small majority. The figures We
have received are hardly reliable
enough to be given TO the public,a and
slight changes may yet occur that
would materially vary the final
result.
In the race for Sheriff the figures
thus far give Mr.. Gentry, the demo-
cratic nominee, q maj Jrity Of "
votes. The townships have all been
heard from, yet nothing but the OFF,
cia' count can be relied upon to de-
termine who will be our next Sher-
If. This Was q holly contested
fight, especially on the part Of the
Democrats.
For Register OF Deeds, A. n.
Campbell, the Republican nominee,
Is elected beyond 4 question Of
doubt, although the sympathetic act
and doodle" combined, cut his ma
jOrity pretty close. In the city his
majority was IS, but the figures from
the entire county only give him a
majority Of Is.
Taylor Miller, Republican cand!-
date for Commissioner in the lst
district, Is elected by a majority Of
%, over r. p. Cravens, the Demo
cratic nominee. This is one Office
in which the Democrats thought
they had q walk-away, but the re-
suit shows they were simply mis-
taken in their figures. They got the
total on the wrong side.
DR.. Brown for Coroner, and II. G.
Johnston for County Surveyor, both
Republicans are elected by hand
some maJorities.
Clarence Wilson, Republican,
will look after the funds OF the
county for another term, his major
ity being something over 400.
JOserh Sargent, Independent can
didate for County Clerk, wss elected
over f. E. Swanson, regular Repub-
iican nominee, by = majority Of 81,
according to present figures.
We expect to be able TO give the
exact figures in to-morrow's Issue,
bat the results will perhaps be the
same. In
NEBR AsKA.
The Republican state ticket, COM
posed OF one candidate for the su-
p-eme court and two candidates for
regents Of the state university, have |
been elected by over 1000 majority.
In the county OF Douglas light vote
as cast, owing 10 n heavy rainfall |
in the afternoon. The Republicans
elect the sheriff, treasurer, clerk Of |
the court, surveyor and very likely |
the three commissioners IN Douglas |
county. The other officers, county /
clerk, recorder, coroner and super
intendent Of schools, are in doutt.
MASSACHUSETTS.
The net loss for the Democratic /
ticket in Boston is $1,000, while the
Republicans claim that the returns
80 lar in show that they have gained 1
three or four senators and s dozen or
iuore senators and s dozen or more l
representatives. The total returns I
received so far at the Republican
headquarters show q Democratic
loss Of $4,000. At the Democratic
headquarters they are making no
claims, except that the vote will be
found 10 be closer when the returns
are all in.
KANSAS.
Republican victories all over the
state. In the city Of Leavenworth
the Democratic ticket is probably
elected. In Dickinson county the
entire Republican ticket carried.
In the Eighth Judicial District
